Waxing Basics

Why wax?

Waxing removes hair directly from the root which makes the time it takes the hair to grow back weeks instead of days. Many clients don’t see hair growing back for 4-6 weeks. Waxing regularly will help maintain that soft, smooth, sexy skin longer, allowing finer hair to regrow. Shaving and hair creams remove hair at the skins surface so you see and feel stubbly hair in just a few days. How nice would it be to be Beach Body ready all year round?

Here are a few waxing tips:

Let your hair grow for at least 10 days after shaving. Your hair needs to be at least 1/4in. long for the wax to adhere to it.

You can take ibuprofen 30 minutes before your appointment if you are sensitive.

Schedule appointments every 4-6 weeks. This keeps your hair growing in the same cycle and gives you the best results. Maintaining regular appts also cuts down on skin sensitivity. Who doesn’t want that?

Don’t worry if you are on your period. If you are comfortable we are too.

Don’t apply lotions or creams to the area being waxed the day of your appointment.

Don’t sunbathe or go to tanning beds 24 hours before or after your appointment.

Don’t shave between appointments.

If you are pregnant you can get waxed! You may have an increased sensitivity due to hormonal changes, and should talk to your doctor to be sure you have the all clear.
